In the 19th century, after the Napoleonic wars, Britain distanced itself from European affairs to focus on its empire, which was the largest empire in the world, comprising roughly 25 per cent of the world.

The country also saw a decline in relative power and influence within the international system, with the U.S. taking its place as a world power.
